Today, a friend of mine drew my attention to something that I was ignoring intentionally – Education System of Pakistan. Well… I am not going to discuss this topic here but rather I have chosen a university to discuss about. We have around 124 Universities in Pakistan recognized by Higher Education Commission. The university system I have selected for discussion is Virtual University of Pakistan (VU). I am not really interested in discussing the methodology of VU, rather I will talk about who should and should not apply, scope, and what are the problems exisitng students are facing.
Let me just give you a brief introduction of Virtual University of Pakistan. VU is the first University of Pakistan which is based on Modern Information and Communication Technologies, was established by the Government as a public sector, not-for-profit institution with a clear mission: to provide extremely affordable world class education to aspiring students all over the country.
Lets start with Who Should NOT Apply:
- Who have not enough time to study
- Who are not self-sufficient
Who Should Apply:
Well I am not going to discuss the eligibility of candidates.
- Who can give enough time to studies. (VU education methodology is not that easy as it is thought)
- Who are pro-active and can take initiatives
- Who can complete their assignments on time.
- Who want to learn something and avail the distance education facility.
- Who are Hard Working
Problems Faced by Students:
- Timings
- Affiliated Institutions Parking Area
- Problems During Examinations in Exam Centers (NO ACs/ Heaters etc.)
Scope:
Virtual University, Lahore is recognized by HEC, Pakistan and also by many International Commissions but if you are looking for a job in Pakistan with VU degree, that might lead you for a slight trouble. VU is not very successful in positioning itself as a standard institution rather it is perceived like a sub-standard university which in fact is not truth.
These are my opinions and visitors may or may not agree with me.
Recommendations for Virtual University Pakistan:
- Students of far far long areas are not yet being targeted.
- Facilities like ACs, Heaters etc should be provided to all students by making one or two centers in each district.
- VU is making study tougher and tougher which indeed is not a good policy.
